On Mana, Brad, Sierra, Tai and Debbie were from the original Nuku Tribe. Caleb and Hali started on the Mana Tribe.

On Nuku, Aubry, Michaela, Sandra, Malcolm and Jeff were from the original Mana Tribe. J.T. came from the original Nuku.

On the new Tavua Tribe, Andrea, Cirie, Sarah, Ozzy and Zeke are from the original Nuku Tribe while Troyzan was from Mana.

By the looks of things it would seem Troyzan, J.T., Caleb and Hali have the odds against them but relationships and alliances oftentimes change with the tribal politics on Survivor. Stay tuned, viewers.

Game Fail: Caleb Reynolds

As Tony Vlachos and Ciera Eastin told us last week, as a returning player, you cannot escape your Survivor legacy. For good or for bad, a returnee’s past will shadow them.

In the case of Caleb, the tribal switch landed him on the new Mana Tribe with his Survivor: Kaôh Rōng pal, Tai. Instead of their friendship being a saving grace for Caleb it was a curse. Fearing their alliance/camaraderie, the tribe voted unanimously to have Caleb walk the plank.

Strategic Gameplay

Although he didn’t seem to be spearheading any of the original Mana Tribe’s decisions, Caleb was always in the loop when it came to the crucial discussions at camp. He had a say and expressed his opinion but he didn’t rock the boat. If he had been a tad bit more vocal and a tad bit more dialed in at the new Mana, his fate might have been very different.

Caleb Rating: 2 / 5

Social Gameplay

Caleb didn’t have an issue with anyone and nobody had an issue with him, besides his friendship with Tai. We saw him fishing and providing for the tribe and they seemed to appreciate his efforts.

He also had a strong bromance going with Malcolm which might have developed into a strong, core alliance if the tribal switch didn’t happen.

Caleb Rating: 2.5 / 5

Entertainment Value

Just like his previous stint on Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, Caleb was there one week and gone the next. Once again too, the crux of his story arc was his friendship with Tai. This time however, it was that bond which ended his game.

Caleb Rating: 2.5 / 5

Survivor 34 Scoop – Week 2: Powell’s Picks

Who played it cool and who proved themselves to be a fool? Every week John Powell makes his picks for the worst and best players of the week.

Debbie seems to be making the same mistakes all over again. Laying down the law, bossing people around and not being very flexible or adaptable wasn’t popular last time and probably won’t be this time. Her days could be numbered.
